The financial models those groups use are customized to the philosophies of the group because having a one-size-fits-all model creates too many options.Some groups have lots of fees, waterfall returns, and even different waterfall returns depending on how much a person invests.

So we just went for it and decided to figure it out as we went.I come from a practical angle, "been sued angle" and "sued others angle". 

The Wealth Outside Wall Street crew seemed to fit that bill, but my gut was telling me I needed some more input. 

Alright well apologies to all if I have ever fit into any of these categories. 

As you mentioned, Ohio might be the perfect fit for you.

In a tight market people sometimes people look at places that aren't a fit.

Feeling bad whole day.. and now feels much better after reading this😊A real estate broker is most successful when dealing with clients ready, willing and able to pay “market” value - or above and matching them with sellers willing to accept market value for their property.The successful investor doesn’t fit into this category.  

This is such a common (and very real) challenge with mid-term rentals, and honestly, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer.What I usually do is build flexibility into the agreement from day one.

Columbus still offers price points where you can buy solid single-family homes in the 120–180k range that hit the 1% rule and cash flow while also benefiting from strong long-term appreciation, which fits perfectly with a conservative, long-hold strategy.

I'm trying to think of different angles to make it work because the idea of house hacking and moving out and having renters cover the mortgage as the home appreciates seems awesome to me, but accounting for all expenses, I'm struggling to get even close.
